  That numbering style should have been compulsory for all I.U. vehicles. How different life would have been.

  According to my notes, this is the former Tinsley Depot electrical fitters workshop, a GUV numbered E 93828.

  As per question under 041912 pic - does anyone know if this received a trademark Tinsley name?!

  I wasn't aware that said names extended to anything other than locos.

  Nothing other than Loco's got the famed painted names.

  according to the new book "life and times of a railway fitter at Tinsley Maintenance Depot" by Phil Hodgkiss this vehicle did indeed have a name -

  but is recorded as ex NKV 93838, the name being TAN-Y-ARSE applied 24-4-92.

  I remember seeing this van with the unofficial name Tan-Y-Arse applied in the usual Tinsley style sat inside the main depot building on a couple of occasions when I managed to get allowed in and have a look around, but never saw it outside the building.

  Took a piccy of it outside the depot on 12-6-1988 numbered as E93828 with no name.

  Hi,

  Is anyone able to give the exact location of where this was at the Glos Warks on 25/05/2024 please?

• 15 March 2026 - Roger Harris

  It was at Winchcombe in a row behind the row alongside the main line attached to 24006 (the red coach). Possibly not seen from a train if you didn't walk around the Winchcombe site. Hope this helps.

  Hi Roger

  Thanks for the reply. I may have misunderstood exactly what you are saying though. I have 94486 buffer to buffer with 24006. (My photo shows the number just about visible, but it is definitely a 4w rather than bogies).

  Do you mean it is the line over again, starting with a 12t van, then a res livery bogie vehicle?

  I did look in that area, but was unable to identify/record some items.

  Regards

  Chris

  Hello Chris,

  Many apologies for not being able to answer sooner on this van. I have got the book down and looked at my photos on the day, and you are correct, it was a CCT next to 24006. I put the van down as 86828 which could be seen under the paint, (rather than 042126 or 93828), and I think it may have been inside the workshop as I'm surprised I did not take a photo of it. Sorry, that's the best I can do.

  Hi Roger

  Thanks for the further response & for checking. It took me nearly 2 years to ask the original question, so no worries about timings.

  I suspect it may have been in the sidings on the opposite side of the line. There was at least 1 similar vehicle I could see, which I was unable to identify. As they have several similar vehicles I shall just have to keep a better eye out for it next time.

  Best wishes

  Chris
